You know my first tour of France was what 97 I think there was like 210 starters

if fiber clean I'd be surprised but that's what professional cycling was at that level

that was kind of what you were expecting to do back then. I did a

transfusion in 2000 with Lance and let's just say it was strongly encouraged.

What is up you beautiful bastards? It is your boy pickleball aka

Rabbi Cantlows aka no-kegan. In today's episode I talked to Tyler Hamilton

who was eight times in the Tour de France and Lance Armstrong's former teammate.

He has also been on my attainables list for quite a while and wrote one of my favorite books

on biking ever.

It's called The Secret Race.

A behind-the-scenes look at the training and lifestyle of an elite bike rider level also exposes some of the doping stuff that went on.

Even if you're not into writing, it is an amazing story.

You can learn more about Tyler if you enjoy this episode by checking out his book The Secret Race, his teaching academy,

Tyler Hamilton Training, or his podcast Adventure Audio.

If you want to learn how to recover from a public fallout, he did admit his doping,

the mindset of a champion, and behind the scenes of elite athletes,

you're going to love this episode.

You'll learn at least these three gigantic things.

Number one, what does it take to be a pro athlete?

So much more than we realize.

Number two, what's it like to ride on the tour of France?

I think I'm going to try to make it next year with a lot of doping.
